System from Lost Chimes by Lost Chimes
System is about the exploration of the different responses of men and women - the frustration of perhaps wanting to react differently and then the understanding that there is no need to change to meet your own or someone else's needs. We are 'very well' exactly as we are.

Lyrics
The road is on fire, think like a man
The fire is in the stomach, think like a man
The movement is below the palm of the hand
Drives you to the airport, lifts off the land
The road is in the distance little stick man
Toss away your wristwatch tiny stick man
Up against the nimbus flat is the land
Rinsing out the atoms think like a man
White and grey, very well, similar to, a system
White and grey, very well, similar to, a system
The road is on fire, think like a man
The fire is in the stomach, think like a man
The movement is below the palm of the hand
Drives you to the airport, lifts off the land
The road is in the distance little stick man
Toss away your wristwatch tiny stick man
White and grey, very well, similar to, a system
White and grey, very well, similar to, a system
I am very well, very well
I am similar to other systems
I am very well
